Ducks have plan for Hiller, not Emery

Six weeks have passed since their season ended in Nashville and the Ducks' goaltending situation is just as murky as ever.

After attempts to work through the recurring vertigo symptoms on the ice proved fruitless, Jonas Hiller (left) was shut down and told to rest in the hope that they will abate.

Masterton Trophy finalist Ray Emery did more than anyone could have expected after coming back from a serious hip injury but his one-year contract is due to expire at the end of the month and he'll be an unrestricted free agent.

The one sure thing is Dan Ellis, who stabilized the net in a great time of need for the Ducks and will be around next season as long as the club wants him.
